You may not look like a hero, but that just means the robots won't see you coming!
Zap has always dreamed of saving the galaxy. When robots invade, it's finally time to jump into action! This is a fast-paced top-down cover shooter where smart positioning is your advantage. Snap into cover, lock onto enemies, collect upgrades, and outsmart robot armies across five colorful worlds. The odds are against you, but anyone can be a hero!
A TOP-DOWN SHOOTER BUILT AROUND COVER
In Zap Blastum, cover is your greatest weapon.
Snap into cover at any wall
Automatically lean around corners while firing
Dash between safe positions under heavy fire
Outsmart enemies using positioning and timing
FOCUS ON STRATEGY, NOT AIM
Select a target to lock onto, hold fire, and Zap takes care of aiming so you can focus on movement and tactical positioning. Robot enemies use cover too, can coordinate flanking maneuvers, and always take the shot. Staying one step ahead is the key to survival.
UPGRADE YOUR STRATEGY
Earn upgrades throughout your adventure and create powerful combinations of status effects, damage, shield, and stamina increases, chain reactions, and more. No two playthroughs have to be the same.
